"Focused and Inspired" is a shining light in the urgent need to change our sports culture. Athletes are tough, yet they feel nervous, frustrated, and confused. When a coach blames or shames, that negativity sticks in their minds, and frequent feelings of vulnerability increase abuse in sports. To thrive and be healthy, athletes need to feel intelligent, valued, and safe! Mental training coach, Lisa Mitzel, steps forward with crucial skills in emotional intelligence and forming a power-balance. For every coach, parent, and leader in athletics, heighten your awareness, make meaningful connections, and awaken a new sports era that is wise, successful, and safe! --INSPIRE ATHLETES BY ADDRESSING ESSENTIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL & EMOTIONAL NEEDS --IDENTIFY VERBAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE IN SPORTS --EDUCATE STAFF TO THINK DEEPLY AND APPLY CRITICAL VALUES --LEAD WITH CALM, CLEAR COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPARENCY --INCREASE EFFECTIVE COACHING THROUGH A POSITIVE â€œPARTNERSHIPâ€ MODEL --PROMOTE CONFIDENCE AND SAFETY THROUGH A â€œPOWER-BALANCEâ€ "A revolutionary book to identify and prevent abuse in sports, and value the athlete's voice, daily, on the path to success." -STEVE KERR, 3-Time NBA Champion Head Coach, Golden State Warriors "Lisa is a beautiful and eloquent writer, whose message speaks loudly through her insight and years of experience.
